The U.S.S.R. went bankrupt after spending 40% of national income on the military. President George Bush's administration will spend a staggering $419.3 billion US on the military this fiscal year.

I notice how there is a percentage for the USSR but not for the US. The percent for the US would be more like 4% than 40% but what's an order of magnitude between friends...
